MMAP Aug. 2013, Maranatha Ministries, New Durham, NH

While at home for the month of July, we were able to celebrate three of our grandkids birthdays, had a few family gatherings,

enjoyed the family,

enjoyed the grands from CA, 

 

Went to the fair

and did a lot of relaxing..... since Paul’s tools were in the RV.

While we were home, the RV was getting repaired.  It took a week longer than expected due to the mirror being a special order.  Until the new one comes in, they finally got a temporary one put together, using some of our parts and some of theirs (which are a bit rusty).  It cannot be controlled from the inside; but hey, it is functional, and we were able to get back on the road.

It took us two fourteen-hour days to get here!  Paul did all of the driving.  We missed the first two days of the job, but better late than not!  I was a little concerned, because I try not to let Paul drive more than seven hours.  He was determined to get in on the first week!  We got here on the third day of the job.

When we got here, we found out the ceiling had been installed at the beginning of the summer.  This was how it looked when we left in 2011

While the rest of the crew was assigned to finishing the stage area,

Paul was assigned to finish the electrical

The carpeting was professionally laid on Thursday and Friday, the day before the wedding.  Talk about timing!!

This is how it looked, ready for the wedding that took place over this past weekend!

Before we got here, the ladies had sanded the wainscoting and were scheduled to varnish, but due to the wedding coming up sooner than they had anticipated, it was done by some other volunteers over the weekend.  

We ladies washed the windows and cleaned all of the chairs.

We also painted the posts of the many signs around the camp.

It is amazing how fast the weeks go.  We are getting ready to start the third week, then will be off for two weeks, before starting the September work.
